7 7 Judges, Judging and Equal Application of the Danish Ribbon System: 1. Exhibits are judged against a set of standards for the type of exhibit. All exhibits, with the exception of livestock exhibits, will not be compared to each other and they are not ranked from best to worst. Standards from Kansas State University Research and Extension will be used to the extent that they are available. 2. Exhibits will be placed in purple, blue, red and white ribbon groups in accordance with the Danish system, except in the Rabbit Division (see Rabbit Division). Grand Champion and Reserve Champion ribbons will be awarded from those exhibits receiving a purple ribbon, unless, in the opinion of the class judge, there is no exhibit of Grand Champion and/or Reserve Champion quality; furthermore, no Reserve Champion ribbon can be awarded if a Grand Champion ribbon has not been awarded. 3. All judges will be provided with this explanation of the Danish Ribbon System prior to starting to judge the exhibits. 4. All exhibits will receive a ribbon, based on the Danish Ribbon System as follows: a. A purple ribbon means the exhibit is outstanding on all standards. There are usually no flaws or only a few minor ones that only the trained eye would see. Purple ribbon is excellent. b. A blue ribbon means the project exceeded minimum standards. It has smaller flaws but improvements can be made. Blue ribbon is above average. c. A red ribbon means the exhibit has met all minimum standards. It shows an honest effort has been made. There are visible signs of needed improvement. Red ribbon is average. d. A white ribbon means that for one reason or another, the exhibit did not meet all the minimum standards. This ribbon is probably the most misunderstood of all. It does not mean that the exhibit is not worthwhile. e. All Cloverbud participants will receive a participation ribbon. There will be no premium H members receiving trophies or other prizes sponsored by companies and individuals are reminded to promptly send thank you cards to the sponsors of their award. If you are unsure of the sponsor, please check with your superintendent or project leader. 6. Conference judging shall be available for all divisions exhibited in the 4-H Exhibit Hall (Red Barn), unless otherwise noted, and superintendents shall provide notice to the exhibiters about when the judging will take place. If the number of exhibits in a division creates a time problem, then the superintendents may limit the number of items to be conference judged by any one exhibitor, provided that the limitations set are applied equally to all exhibitors in the division. 7. The decisions of the judges are final and no appeal will be considered. 8. Judges shall not be related to or have conducted any business for financial or personal gain with any Wyandotte County 4-H member, or 4-H family members, exhibiting in the division being judged.

80 80 Round Robin Showmanship Contest will be Thursday, July 12 at 7:00 p.m. Superintendents: Christy Hardwick, Bill Cobb, Steve Mortell Please note, this is not a division in which 4-Hers can enroll or enter projects in. This is merely a fun competition for the top showman from livestock species to compete for a prize donated by the Wyandotte County Farm Bureau. No ribbons will be given; only the top three overall scores will receive a prize. 1. To qualify for Round Robin Showmanship, the following criteria must be met: a. In order for animals from the horse, beef, sheep, goat, and swine divisions to be represented in Round Robin Showmanship, there must be at least one showman from that species who is eligible and agrees to participate, and two animals in the species. All ages divisions (Jr., Inter. And Sr. are eligible to participate in Round Robin) The idea is to have the best showman from each species compete for the title of Ultimate Showman. b. Judges will select a champion and a reserve champion, and one through four alternates, in the overall showman competitions of each species. If the champion and /or reserve champion does not choose to participate, then the first alternate is eligible, and so on. c. Contestants must agree to provide, for Round Robin competition, the animal with which they placed in showmanship judging as well as any equipment necessary for the show. (e.g., halters, brushes, whips, sticks, etc.) 2. Qualifying contestants must choose only one species category to represent in Round Robin Showmanship. 3. With the exception of the Horse Project, each contestant must declare which species they choose to participate under. They must report their decision to their Project Leader or Superintendent by 9:00 a.m. on the morning of the Round Robin Competition. 4. In competition, youth will start one species to the right of the species they qualified in and will finish with their own species. 5. Each species superintendent must be present and responsible for their species at the competition to make sure the correct animals are used. All species can be switched due to health/safety concerns for the animal and for the youth. Any substitution of animals for competition due to animals illness or injury will be made at the discretion of the species division superintendent. 6. Judges from each species category score individuals from that category on a scale of one to ten points (decimals are encouraged). 7. Placings will be determined by adding the individual s scores from each species to get a total score. The contestant with the highest total score is awarded 1st place; the second highest score is awarded 2nd place; and the 3rd highest total score is awarded 3rd place. 8. In the event of a tie, prizes for the tied placings will be combined and divided between the tied contestants. 9. The winner will be announced prior to the Livestock Premium Sale.

81 On the day after presentation of winners, all scores may be picked up from the Round Robin superintendents after 9:00 a.m. The rules and events set forth in this H Exhibitor Handbook will govern the 2018 Wyandotte County Fair.
